520 _aExamines the trend among foundation engineers to reuse piled foundations, something which could have implications for new developments in London. Whilst not a new idea, it has fallen out of favour since the 19th century. The reuse of pilings could prove a solution to the construction of buildings on previously piled land and the constraints of building on potential archeological sites. The article examines the topic from both a European and North American perspective, with details about the Re-use of Foundations for Urban Sites (RuFUS) project and website at www.webforum.com/rufus/.
